Small but mighty
This small watch (29 mm in diameter) from the early 1970s is very attractive, especially when fitted with a bund strap which gives it a more substantial presence. The black-on-white dial is excellent, although the minute track is necessarily limited by the small diameter. The case is a Type 161 in chromed brass with long, straight lugs (37 mm lug to lug). The case back is steel and simply snaps onto the case. The movement is a 15-jewel Zim 2602 (inspired by the historic French Lip R26 caliber) which beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour (A/h). The soundtrack I would associate with this watch is the Dune Awakening soundtrack: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=A-Ktw2cVQUg
